Abstract: |
This report presents the results of archaeological works undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at the site of Greenan, Ayr (NGR: NS 3140 1877). The works consisted of a monitored top-soil strip and subsequent excavation undertaken in June 2017. This was a continuation of the Phase 2 top-soil strip initiated in 2015. A series of archaeological works has been ongoing at the development site since 2001. During this time a significant number of structures, features and artefacts have been uncovered relating to archaeological activity ranging from the Mesolithic to the Medieval/Post Medieval periods. The current works revealed several large curvilinear ditch features of probable post-medieval date. These were an apparent continuation of features recorded during the 2015 archaeological works. A stone filled fire-pit and two post-holes were also revealed during the current works. No small finds were recovered during the works. |
